here is quote from someone who is on tr..

i have no rear bumper support, so the wind wants to rip my bumper right the hell off when im doing 135. so thats why i have holes, until i get a new rear bumper and paint it at least. they think ur just putting holes in the plastic and not taking out the actual 40lb impact metal bumper
haters...

Have you ever SEEN holes in one of those cars?

i havnt heard any stories of rear bumpers flying off a car. im sure there are plenty of cars that have gone 135+mph w/o holes in the rear bumper and didnt fall off the car.
